Advantages: Open ended

Disadvantages: Complicated journal system

The first time I played this game it completely blew my mind. The sheer size of this game world is unbelievable. Go where ever you want, interact with all characters and objects. Seemingly unlimited quests from stealing diamonds to killing a specific character. Specialise in any number of character types...be a thief, a mage, an assasin, an adventurer.

The brilliance of this game is that it can be played in so many different ways. I love to wander around interacting with characters and doing little quests, preferably stealing things. I don't really like to fight, but if its usually self defence. I've clocked up over 50 hours of varied enjoyable play and know I''ve only scratched the surface.

On the other hand my friend plays as a fighter, going into random caves and forts and killing all inside. Travelling through the country he finds strange treasures and creatures. He's clocked up the same sort of hours but has developed completely different skills and carried out completely different quests.

The joy of this game is that its got something for everyone regardless of how you like to play games. Its not one of those sit there solidly for a few hours and complete it games...it feels open ended, and unlike many others such as fable, you don't feel pushed towards particular tasks. Nowhere is blocked from you.

Summary: The first of its kind
